I am a girl and I am afraid of being raped
It scares me, the thought of strong arms
Forcing me to bed, without clothes, consent
I am a girl and I am afraid to tell I was raped
‘I’ would be yelled at, slapped or seen as low
I may not die but my life would finish
I am a girl and I am raped everyday
For I am more afraid of telling than being raped
I am stopped, denied choices, even roaming around
I am a girl and I searching my real rapist
Is it my father who shouts if I wonder?
Or is it me who keeps quiet, hide my wishes
I am a girl and I hide my shorts from mother
I would show it to the mirror in my closed room
If I gather guts to wear it out, they call me shameless
I am a girl and I struggle everyday

I am a man and I am a rapist
For the one lone girl in the market seems miserable enough
Even his lean brother or father does not bother me
I am a man and I see many around
It is my place, my kingdom
A rare girl crossing, fires me
I don’t like my wife, my children, my life
If she bothers me, I will misbehave
She better remain home, it may be safe
I am a man and I need revenge
Raping her would be the best punishment
For if he hit me, I shall rape his sister or wife
I am a man and I do not want daughters
For if they are born, they are raped
Even women would taunt her, rape her
I am a man and I struggle everyday

I am the woman and I am the man
I am the world and I struggle everyday
